If your deployment incorporates multiple data regions, you should configure the PingDirectory servers with location information.
To set locations, use the dsconfig create-location and dsconfig
set-global-configuration-prop commands.
The PingDirectory server cannot determine LAN boundaries automatically, so incorrect location settings can result in undesired WAN communication. By default, replication compresses all traffic between PingDirectory servers in different locations.
Set up the locations before enabling replication. The dsreplication enable
command prompts for location information if you have forgotten to define the property.
